For example a quantum physicist is likely more conscious than a cashier (except maybe if the cashier is extremely dedicated to learn about deep topics at night, but unlikely since it's mind is always occupied with this human-bot-mechanical task). [[Localism]] assumes human value more animal life which has a closer map of the territory, i.e. a dog life is more valuable than a fly or cow life. Therefore, following this logic, the quantum physicist life has more value than the cashier life. I don't claim this is something we should keep following, just that we all do this unconsciously. # External links
